The Bar Raiser Mindset Coaching: A Personalised Approach

My coaching isn't about one-size-fits-all solutions. It's about understanding your unique goals, challenges, and aspirations, and developing a customised strategy to help you succeed. I utilise evidence-based techniques, including:

➡️ Mindfulness and Meditation: Cultivate present moment awareness and reduce stress.
➡️ Visualisation: Harness the power of your imagination to create a clear vision of success.
➡️ Positive Psychology: Develop a growth mindset, build resilience, and foster optimism.
➡️ OKR (Objectives and Key Results) Framework: Set ambitious goals, track progress, and achieve measurable results.
➡️ Accountability and Support: Benefit from objective guidance and unwavering encouragement to stay committed to your goals.

Want a quick overview of how OKRs work? I explain it all in this short video, filmed during my 100,000 pull-up challenge:

Let's quickly break down OKRs together.

Frequently Asked Questions (Coaching FAQs)

💡

Have questions about my coaching approach, how I work, or if coaching is right for you? Find the answers below, and if you don't see yours, contact me directly.

What is The Bar Raiser Mindset, and how does it apply to coaching?

The Bar Raiser Mindset is a philosophy I developed, inspired by my journey to over 500,000 pull-ups and years of studying peak performance. It's about setting audacious goals, embracing consistent effort, building unwavering resilience, and recognising that every day is a "Day 1" – a new opportunity for growth. In coaching, I use this mindset, combined with proven techniques like mindfulness, visualisation, and OKRs, to help you break through limitations and achieve extraordinary results.

Who is this coaching for?

I work with individuals and teams who are driven to achieve more. Whether you're an athlete, entrepreneur, leader, or anyone seeking a more fulfilling life, my coaching can help. I specialise in helping people who want to:

➡️ Clarify their goals and create actionable plans.
➡️ Develop unwavering focus and mental resilience.
➡️ Optimise their performance and overcome obstacles.
➡️ Cultivate a growth mindset and live with purpose.

What happens during a coaching session?

Each coaching session is tailored to your specific needs and goals. We'll work collaboratively to identify your challenges, develop strategies, and create a roadmap for success. Sessions typically involve a combination of discussion, goal-setting, mindset exercises, and action planning. My approach is both supportive and challenging, designed to help you step into your power.

How do I know if coaching is right for me?

If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply know you're capable of achieving more, coaching can provide the support, guidance, and accountability you need. The best way to determine if we're a good fit is to schedule a complimentary 30-minute strategy session. This is a no-obligation conversation where we can discuss your goals and explore how my coaching can help.

Why is having a coach as an accountability partner better than relying on friends or family?

While friends and family can offer support, they often have their own perspectives, biases, and personal agendas. As your coach, I provide objective accountability. I'm solely focused on helping you achieve your goals. I can help you set realistic boundaries, challenge your limiting beliefs, and provide consistent encouragement without the emotional complexities that can sometimes arise in personal relationships. My role is to be your unbiased advocate for success, providing the structure and support you need to stay on track.

How much does coaching cost? 💰

My standard coaching rate is £250 per 60-minute session. This reflects the depth of my experience, my commitment to ongoing personal and professional development, and the transformative results my clients achieve. I also offer customised coaching packages to meet individual needs and budgets. We can discuss these options during your strategy session.

Are all coaching sessions 60 minutes long?

My standard initial coaching session is 60 minutes, allowing us to thoroughly explore your goals and develop a personalised strategy. However, I understand that different needs require different approaches. After the initial session, we can customise the frequency and duration of our sessions to best support your progress. This might include shorter, more frequent check-ins for accountability, or longer, more in-depth sessions for addressing complex challenges.

How do I pay for coaching sessions?

Payment is required in advance of each session to secure your booking. We'll agree on the schedule and payment details after your initial strategy session.

What is your rescheduling/cancellation policy?

I understand that life happens. I request at least 24 hours' notice to reschedule a session. Sessions canceled with less than 24 hours' notice, or missed appointments, are non-refundable.

Do you offer in-person coaching?

I primarily offer virtual coaching sessions via Google Meet, providing flexibility and convenience for clients worldwide. I also offer a limited number of in-person coaching sessions in Manchester, UK. Please contact me to discuss in-person availability.

What are OKRs, and how do you use them in coaching?

OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) are a powerful goal-setting framework used by leading companies like Google and Intel. Your Objective is your ambitious, overarching goal (the "what"). Your Key Results are the specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound milestones that track your progress (the "how"). I use OKRs to help you create a clear roadmap to your goals, stay focused, and measure your success.

Can I claim coaching as a business expense?

💡 Disclaimer: I am not a tax advisor. This information is for general guidance only. Consult a qualified professional for personalised advice.

In the UK, if you are self-employed, a freelancer, or a limited company director, you may be able to claim coaching as a business expense.

➡️ Self-Employed/Freelancers: Expenses must be "wholly and exclusively" for your business.

Always keep detailed records and consult with a tax professional to determine your eligibility.
